Laurence Pidcock Triathlete: Contingency?
http://laurencepidcocktriathlete.blogspot.com/2012/03/contingency.html
Thursday, 1 March 2012. Ironman New Zealand 2012. Waking up this morning the wind has dropped a little and it's still dry. Plus the forecast looks a little better, we have a 'special' weather briefing at 4PM this afternoon when we may hear the race plan. Although it's probably more likely we'll have to wait until 6AM race day to hear the race plan. Either way I can't wait. No Hawaii slot pressure this year, the training has been going well and I'm ready to go. Posted by Laurence Pidcock Triathlete.

Joe Cooper: January 2012
http://www.joecooper.me/2012_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 29, 2012. NZ Cycle Classic – Stage Five. It was clear from the get go today that the wind was going to play a huge factor in today’s race. right from the gun the pace was on and in the first 20 or so km's there where continuous attacks as riders tried to establish themselves off the front. Two riders managed to ride clear and at one point they had around 30 seconds on the main peleton before being caught just before the first KOM climb of the day. As we turned back to head around the loop...

Monday, January 17, 2011. JC and his BMC SLR01. Joe's rivals should be worried as he's now aboard a BMC SLR01 kitted out with Zipp 404's. A recent stage win. At the Tour de Vineyards was a fine way to start the new year and put the SLR01 through its paces. Joe reported that the BMC SLR01 was up to the task. "The BMC SLR01 has the perfect combination of vertical compliance for comfort on our coarse chip roads and stiffness to ensure the power goes down smoothly. It's a weapon! Posted by Capital Cycles.

Tuesday, June 28, 2011. Tacx Indoor Trainer Setup - with TTS3. Tacx Fortius with TTS3 (Tacx Training Software ver 3). Below is a screen shot while riding a ride saved from a Garmin, and imported into TTS3 (Wellington Railway Station). Not only can I re-ride my rides indoor on a rainy day, but I can email the rides to friends so that they can re-ride my rides. Google Earth 3D view certainly takes the boredom away! Here's me anticipating the hills coming up. Cables are easily stood on and damaged if not cl...

Laurence Pidcock Triathlete: September 2011
http://laurencepidcocktriathlete.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 1 September 2011. 4 weeks 'til I fly. Hawaii count down is now really on. The race is 5 weeks on Saturday and we fly 4 weeks today. Since my last post I had a serious dose of man-flu; 16 days off training was a bit of a confidence knock. However, the last couple of weeks I've concentrating on getting stronger every day doing a little more. I'm starting to feel ok again now, 20 decent hours last week and i'm closer to where I'd like to be. Posted by Laurence Pidcock Triathlete. 4 weeks til I fly.

Laurence Pidcock Triathlete: October 2011
http://laurencepidcocktriathlete.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 October 2011. Four days later (or 3 weeks! And it's time to write up the experience, maybe make some notes for next time, or at least offer some thoughts for other first time Kona athletes. In preparing for the race I was eager to be as fit as possible, but didn't have any expectation around time, or finish position. I was always going to be mid-pack, at best I could hope to be towards the front of the middle! Coming into the race I've not had the long specific training period of some of my ot...

Laurence Pidcock Triathlete: hot and windy...
http://laurencepidcocktriathlete.blogspot.com/2011/10/hot-and-windy.html
Monday, 3 October 2011. It's a whole lot better than wet (cold) and windy! Hawaii is delivering. Within 24hrs I told Mel I wanted to come again next year. Everything you hear, everything you read, everything you see; Kona delivers. It's a small town but in Ironman week it delivers Supersize. The leanness of everyone is what gets you first, but the tans are a close second. You'd imagine it to be feel of fast triathletes, and I guess it's just that it is.

Laurence Pidcock Triathlete: April 2011
http://laurencepidcocktriathlete.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, 17 April 2011. Oxfam 100k (not race) report. Earlier in the year my friend Dee got a bunch of us together for a coffee to talk about running a 100k for charity. Four weeks after Ironman and I wasn’t planning on taking anything too seriously, a bit of a road trip up to Taupo and the chance to tick a 100k run off the bucket list seemed a good idea. Suddenly running 100km didn’t seem quite the cruise I had hoped for. For all of us this was a step into the unknown. We’d had a good chat about nu...
